Really really loved this place. Beautiful view & the rocks to sit on are so nice for catching the breeze, having more sun.. There were major waves that day, so every now & then you get splashed when you're sitting on the rocks, which is refreshing.. People were jumping of the rocks, although you must check the water first before diving or that can be scary - as one kid jumped off without warning & got splash pretty hard against the rocks because of the huge wave- she's lucky her mother came over to grab her just as the water lowered. However, other 'adults' were doing it safely over & over where there were no rocks. If you go on a windy day just note that the water near the shore will be pretty dark & murky from all the sand moving around! Otherwise it's probably a lot more clear on a normal day! Not a big beach, not a lot of parking..but there's more to explore if you walk up the path away from the beach & you get a nice view of the water where there's grass & benches too. Very nice for a picnic, which is what we did, great place to swim, have a date, family day, whatever! Amazing for pictures on the rock hehe, had to add that in! Photo shoot vibe (on the rocks)* 😄

a very cool, calm and friendly pseudo Canadian beach. The lake in this area is clean, cold and has no bad odor, you can dive into it!! You can't drink alcohol, you can't smoke, I don't recommend pets or loud music. very good for children.
